Preparation

Required materials

Used material:

Card, any colour, 1.6mm thickness

Trotec laser machine used:

Speedy 400, 80 watts, 1.5 inch lens;

Black Aluminium Laser Cutting Grid Table

Step by Step

Step 1: Graphics

In your graphics program open our template or create your own design. We have prepared two design templates:

Business card rack with name

Display for brochures or city maps with the corresponding skyline

In the below video tutorial we show you how to transform a picture into a skyline for use in your design.

Step 2: Laser processing

While laser cutting and engraving the stand, it's important to ensure that the full extraction power is available for the processing table. To achieve this cover the remaining processing area with paper or cardboard.

Depending on how intricate the graphics are, the cutting speed should be adjusted.
